The main assembly and worship room on the third floor of the school. Sara is standing with papers and is getting ready to open the first meeting of the English for Missions project.
Sergio, the director of MTC, is addressing a small group that has gathered to start the EFM.
A stand up and wake up your bodies. Sara is to far right.
Lunch time has MANY more bodies present. Students were coming in all morning from various locations in Brasil. Most are from the Montes Claros region, but a few have travelled from Belo and other points. I think the total "class" size is now 26 with 7 teachers and Carol and Ron as "go phers" and native speakers.
Sara set up a skit with various countries represented: Brasil, muslims countries, India, Russia, Native Brasil (Amazon) and USA. The lady to the left was asked to pass out the money (from a large stack of bills) that each country received for mission and mission related work. Sadly after her fairly evenly distributed money was redistributed by Sara, the USA ended up with almost ALL of it. Most is consumed by administration, fund raising, etc. Rather a sad commentary!! An eye opener!!
